Add a CommentThis beautiful book teaches about the importance of saving money without it feeling like a lesson, but instead a heartwarming, hopeful tale of love and support from family and friends. This 1983 Caldecott Honor Book continues to exude warm fuzzies after all these years. Readalike: Those Shoes.
funny book
A poignant story that teaches about the importance of family and how one can recover from tragedy. I first discovered this book as a child watching Reading Rainbow. It's as heartwarming now as it was then.
A very good book and teaches values of saving money and how important family is , and working together for a common goal . Heartwarming and touching story .
This a good book.
K12 uses this book for Kindergarten reading.
Teach children the values that really matter - illustrations are heartwarming and this story inspired by events that happen to so many families (rebuilding after a fire) can help heal young minds.
Wonderful children's book about the saving money, hard work and that family is more important that your personal possessions. There are so many good messages in this book! A must read for all parents of kids 7 and under!
